During the same interview, Arjun Kapoor recalled the time when Parineeti came to the sets of the film Ishaqzaade and told a joke loudly to everyone present. But instead of laughing at it, she said ‘LOL’, the language of Gen-Z. “I said ‘Can you just laugh?’ So, I found her a bit annoying.” Arjun further added that Parineeti often spoke in emojis and this was when he realized she was not serious about the role and she should not work with him in the film.

The actor further said, “I have been waiting for 6 months to meet Zoya and Pari was even saying ‘lol lol’ to Zoya. I felt like my career was over working with Pari in this film.” At that time, Parineeti was doing Ladies vs Ricky Bahl with Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma. So, Arjun felt he had nothing at stake as it was his first film. “I was 24 at that time and I thought I wanted to make a career,” Arjun further added. But when Parineeti Chopra did a mock shoot, Arjun was so shocked to see her talent that he forgot his dialogues and acting.
